Very good game... but not for everybody.

I admit, I did rent this game expecting intense Anime cut-scenes and Mech battles. But, can't say I was even an ounce disappointed at what I played. It was pretty awesome!
The game itself, was pretty much a Visual Novel with Dating Sim elements, Strategic Mech Battles and some exploration. Along with 8 episodic adventure, each episode mainly explores the girls and how Shinjiro changes them (Naruto Style). For those that expect a lot of Mech Battles, will be very disappointed. The Mech battles are at the climax of each episode, while the exploration aspects is usually in the middle. During Exploration, the main character can interact with his friends and build trust, so the Joint Battles will be more powerful.
And the replay value is sort of high, for those that want to get another girls ending. I personally got Diana's ending, since she's my favorite. Once you beat the game and want to try a new game, you will be able to skip the text, which comes in handy (Trust me, some dialogue feels like it lasts forever.) By the way, just make sure you save your paused data, just click pause and click Discontinue, so that if you screw up on some choices, you can always go back. Also comes in handy for the 'Dates'. I think the 'date' with Diana was the best, but that may be just me.
On a final note, I just wished the game had a Japanese voice track, because the English voices can get annoying at times. (Anyone with me!) Guess I may have to buy it to get the Japanese version.
